“I don’t have an official opening date as of yet,” said Barb Christensen, of TDL Group, the licensing company for Tim Hortons franchises.

Although she said she did not know how many jobs would be available at the new location, she said, Tim Hortons "is always open to accept applications."

A worker there last week said efforts to covert the location was nearing completion and expected to be done within two weeks.
